If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.

In its essence Thrive is not a film which promotes bad ideas... That we would live in a better world with its wealth equally spread around people and with humanity leave a lesser environmental print...However, from the first minutes a big Propaganda/sect alarm rang in my head. The first animation made me think of the creation of the world and all.. matter being formed, life starting in the ocean and then the dolphin evolves in a reptile... Yes you read me! That's how I interpreted these first shots... From that moment I was watching being very caution!!Then just after that the statement that life is made to thrive and why then we as human beings, for a majority of us it's more about survival? Come on! The life a of cheetah is not about thriving, it's about being fast enough to get a meal... Life is always (whether human or other) about competition... Like eat or be eaten. Of course, due to our intellect, we humans may be able to solve one another's problem so we as a specie can get closer to that thrive ideal...But what really irritated me in Thrive is the tone or some aspect of the form. If the first part which is more science isn't to bad, I really hated the world domination conspiracy theory where Gamble sitting in his nice arm chair is almost always sitting as God in space or above Earth or some earth features... Did we really need that? Did we need the cheap animation which sometimes made me think more of a Goa fest than a pretending serious documentary?There are many many many examples in this film of things which could be interesting but are treated lightly. Also I had the feeling sometimes really was getting twisted to fit the purpose... The crop circles and UFO bits are a good example of this. It's rather strange to have those things next to Nicola Tesla's findings. More science and less theoretical blah blah would have surely done a better job in convincing me!I really hooked off after 90 minutes and by the time the film became an advertising for the website (where you are kindly ask to make a donation for I don't know what's purpose) I was really absent minded...You should watch the film as it will make you think on things you may not think about in your every day life. But don't expect to get excited...

THIS FILM IS NOW AVAILABLE FOR FREE. Check their web page for more information.Thrive is a film that does an excellent job of compiling some of the most important ideas of fringe information. Even better, they provide the viewer with a positive perspective on all of it. They even go a step further with a web page to help network, learn more, and check references for everything they state in the film.I had previously watched over 300 hours of online video regarding fringe topics. And I was really impressed at how Thrive took some of the most important aspects of that information and put it in to one film.Fringe information can be disturbing. So the fact that they also give some great positive ideas at the end is significant.Thrive also offers some new ideas I had not heard before.All media is biased. All of us...are biased. But I believe that if we are to get closer to what the Truth really is...the best way is to expose ourselves to a large variety of information sources and ideas. This film is a great way to do that.

Besides the alien stuff which is harder to prove this documentary is very accurate according to my own research over the past few years. To the guy from Denmark who said this was nothing but propaganda, maybe you should take them time to do your own research on these subjects. Also I agree people should not always believe everything they see or read especially when it comes from known liars and people with an agenda. No one fits those characteristics better than corporations and governments. If people are interested in a few books of well sourced material on some of these topics, I recommend En Route To Global Occupation by Gary Kah, Mankind At The Turning Point which is a book put out by one of the elites think tank groups the Club of Rome. A few more books that get in to the agenda of the elites and the organizations and think tanks they run try The deliberate dumbing down of America by Charlotte Thomson Iserbyt and Behind The Green Mask: UN Agenda 21 by Rosa Koire. You can get the original edition of the deliberate dumbing down for free in digital format at deliberatedumbingdown.com or buy her new revised and abridged edition on that site or Amazon.

I started off highly interested in what I was about to watch. By the end I was so angry. It is highly irresponsible to tell people everything that is wrong with the world yet offer no explanation as to why any of it is necessary and, perhaps more importantly, the consequences of it ceasing to work. This film talks about alternative energy suppression, which is incredibly sad, yet fails to talk about the impact free energy would have by taking trillions in currency away from the world's government. This film talks about the control few have over the many, which sounds scary, yet fails to point out that every business, organisation and even family works in that exact way. This film talks about aliens and constantly draws comments from a man that claimed to be the son of God. Had great potential, but scares me that many watching will consider it insightful.
